They adjusted some of the seals on the A-Pillar and the top itself and ran a pressure washer on the area when they washed it.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

I have a 2008 C4 Cab. I was driving it in some fairly hard rain and I noticed that it started to leak right where the leading edge of the top meets the A-Pillar on the drivers side. It dripped pretty bad for a few minutes and then stopped. I have checked the seals and everything looks pretty good. I know that in the manual it states that convertible tops are not 100% water tight, but I would think at this location things would be sealed up pretty well. Anyone else having this issue?

POST 2Original post

I've never driven in very hard rain, but in normal rain I never experienced anything like that!

POST 3Original post

Yeah I usually don't drive in hard rain either, but when I'm out and it comes not much I can do. I'm going to take it to the dealer and see what they say. Thanks.

POST 4Original post

Something isn't right, definitely shouldn't leak. My 99 Boxster didn't leak in heavy Florida torrents and neither has the wife's 08 Boxster S. I haven't had my Cab long enough, but if it leaked as you described I'd take it to the dealer pronto. FWIW my DD is an 83 MB SL and it doesn't leak! Let us know what the dealer comes up with.

POST 5Original post

Yeah I know something isn't right. Regardless of the fact that the manual states that no convertible is 100% water tight you would think that where I'm having the issue it would be well sealed. I have an appointment tomorrow and I will report back what they find. Thanks.

POST 7Original post

I took the car in this morning to see about getting the leak fixed. I will report back what they find.

POST 8Original post

Probably something just needs adjusting. They should get it sorted PDQ.

POST 9Original post

That's exactly what it was. They adjusted some of the seals on the A-Pillar and the top itself and ran a pressure washer on the area when they washed it. Not even a hint of a leak. Problem solved!

POST 10Original post

Glad you got it straightened out! That's not the kind of problem anyone should have to live with in 2009. After all we're not driving 1950's era English roadsters are we?

POST 11Original post

No, I'm not driving a 1950's style roadster, but I sure would like one. I'm thinking a 1955 550 Spyder would be a nice addition to the stable.
